OPERATION
NOTE!
Always disconnect the power cord from the mains power before adjusting, servicing or maintaining
the machine.
Never change the planing depth during operation because this will make the surface uneven. To
avoid incorrect use, reset the planer to "0".
Never touch the workpiece while you are working.
Before starting the machine, check that the voltage on the planer type plate corresponds with the mains
voltage.
Place the worktable on a stable and level surface and adjust the tool with a clamp or vice.
Turn the adjusting screw clockwise to set the planing depth. There is a scale on the adjusting knob that
shows the set planing depth in mm. Turn the knob to set the required planing depth.
Connect to the mains supply. To turn the machine on, press in the safety lock first while pressing the
switch (ON/OFF). The machine is now switched on and you can release the safety lock.
Use a deeper planing depth for rough planing and reduce the depth for fine planing to achieve a smooth,
even surface. Keep the planer straight while working, otherwise the surface will become uneven. Switch
off the planer when you have finished, and pull out the plug.
Only use the planer on the top of the workpiece, never underneath or from the side.
Make sure that all moving parts have stopped moving before putting down the machine.
Parallel guide
A parallel guide is supplied with this electric
planer. This accessory allows you to maintain a
precise alignment on a straight workpiece. This
illustration shows how to fit it.
Chamfering
There is a V-groove at the front of the vertically
adjustable base plate. This groove can be used
to make an approximately 6 mm wide chamfer on
the edges of a workpiece. Chamfering is a more
advanced way of using the machine and requires
considerable skill on the part of the user for
perfect results.
